2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer Complaint Log

THE VEHICLE TRANSFER CASE HAS FAILED TWICE. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED AT 33,377 MILES. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE UNDER THE VEHICLE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. THE SECOND FAILURE OCCURRED WITH 43,971 MILES. (MILES PER EACH TRANSFER CASE)THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING ROUGH AND IN 4WD. I SELECTED THE AWD MODE AND THE VEHICLE MADE A CLUNKING SOUND BUT STOPPED IDLING ROUGH. WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT BACK IN 4WD IT WOULD NOT GO INTO THE 4WD MODE. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I TRIED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN 4 LOW AND IT WENT INTO 4 LOW BUT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF 4 LOW. THE SERVICING DEALER AND GM CLAIM THE TC FAILURE IS BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A NORTHERN STATE AND THEREFORE USE THE AWD AND 4WD MORE THAN OTHER REGIONS. I SPOKE WITH ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY CLAIM GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT CANNOT FIX IT. THE SECOND DEALER SAID THEY COULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE, BUT ASSURED ME THAT THE TC WOULD FAIL AGAIN. BOTH DEALER SAID THEY SEE THESE TRAILBLAZER TC FAILING ALL WINTER LONG. THERE WERE ABOUT 4 TO 5 TRAILBLAZERS IN THE SERVICE DEPT (NOT INCLUDING OURS) WITH BROKEN TRANSFER CASES. *TR

IN ADDITION, THE RADIO BEGAN SHORTING OUT AND THE BLOWER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING.

THE CLUSTER IN MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER IS NOT WORKING. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE 2004 TAHOE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR

MY 2003 TB HAS CLICKING NOISE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON SEVERAL TIMES, ABOUT 2 OR THREE YEARS AGO THE CAM SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL SHAKE OR ROUGH IDLE. I TOOK IT TO GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SERVICED AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER PARTS, AFTER THE PARTS DID NOT COME IN, AFTER ALMOST A WEEK I TOOK MY CAR HOME FOR THE WEEKEND. NO ONE EVER CALL ABOUT THE PARTS COMING IN, SO I CALLED ABOUT 2 1/2 WEEKS LATER AND THEY SAID THE PARTS WERE IN, IT HAD BEEN APROX. 35 DAYS FROM THE FIRST VISIT. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK I EXPECTED THE CAR TO BE IN THE SHOP JUST A FEW HOURS TO PUT THE PARTS IN. I CHECKED ON THE CAR LATER IN THE DAY AND THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO KEEP IT BECAUSE IT WAS SHOWING A SERVICE CODE P0014, AND THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PARTS ORDERED WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM., BECAUSE SOME NEWER TB'S NEEDED A NEW MOTOR WHEN SHOWING THAT P0014 CODE. HAS ANY ONE HAD THIS PROBLEM?*CN

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. IT WAS A GM MESS UP, THEY SHOULD RECALL IT AND FIX IT.*CN

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LTZ. THERE ARE "STEPPER MOTORS" THAT RUN EACH GAUGE INSIDE THE GAUGE CLUSTER. MY SPEEDOMETER STEPPER MOTOR HAS GONE BAD CAUSING ME TO NOT KNOW WHAT MY SPEED IS. I HAVE SEEN THIS SAME PROBLEM ON NUMEROUS MESSAGE BOARDS AS WELL. *TR

BAD CLUTCH FAN AGAIN!!! *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER FLUTTERS AROUND AND STICKS NOT SHOWING MY ACTUAL SPEED I AM TRAVELING. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES HAPPENING IN THE OUTSIDE VICINITY OF MY VEHICLE I COULD SMELL GASOLINE. TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND DESCRIBED MY PROBLEM TO THEM AND EXPRESSED MY SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT THE GAS SMELL. THEY ADVISED ME MY VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL THEY COULD INSPECT AND DIAGNOSE THE NATURE OF THE GASOLINE SMELL. DEALER INSPECTED AND FOUND THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND LINE TO BE CORRODED ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK AND IT WAS LEAKING FUEL ONTO THE TANK. DEALER IN PROCESS OF REPLACING FUEL SENDING UNIT WITH A NEW UNIT. COST OF REPAIR QUOTED AT $840 DOLLARS. DEALER GAVE ME A DISCOUNTED QUOTE "TO HELP MAKE THINGS RIGHT" OF AROUND $340. VEHICLE IS A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH 65,000 MILES. SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME FOR A 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE TO DEVELOP A PROBLEM OF THIS NATURE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. THE CONTACT SMELLED FUEL INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK FROM THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A CRACKED AND CORRODED LINE. THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 60,000. UPDATED 03-05-08 *BF

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER LINKING TO THE COMPUTER I HAD A CODE # P0442. AFTER I, AND MY MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, WE FOUND THAT THE GAS TANK WAS CRACKED AND LEAKING. I HAD TO REPLACE THE FAULTY GAS TANK, FOR AN EXPENSIVE FEE. I CALLED CHEVY, AND TO SUM IT UP, I WAS LEFT TO WORK THIS PROBLEM OUT ON MY OWN, WITH NO FINANCIAL HELP FROM GM. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2003 TRAILBLAZER. I TOOK IT IN BECAUSE IT WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT NO LONGER COMES ON BUT THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS CONSTANTLY, I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS. I AM AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND MY CHILDREN AND I WILL BE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE. *TR

2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. *TR

FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT LINES CORRODED AND LEAKING. *TR

EVERY FEW DAYS WHEN I USE THE TURN SIGNAL ALL LIGHTS WILL FLASH AS IF THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED. THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE THE GM RECALL FOR THE 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HOWEVER MY VIN IS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE WIPERS FAIL TO TURN OFF WHEN THE WIPER SWITCH HAS BEEN TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. I LATER FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS FAILURE MODE IN THIS VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL, BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. I BELIEVE THAT THE FAILURE MODE I AM EXPERIENCING IS THE SAME AS THAT DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL NOTICE (NHTSA #04V046000) AND BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER MY VEHICLE. *TR

I'D DRIVEN 60 MILES TO DESTINATION. 1/2 HOUR LATER WENT OUT TO TRAILBLAZER. THERE WAS A LARGE PUDDLE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID UNDER THE VEHICLE AND A TRAIL OF DRIPS LEADING UP TO IT. MECHANIC DETERMINED THE LINE RUBBED ON CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND WORE A HOLE IN IT. THE FLUID SPRAYED ALL OVER UNDER THE VEHICLE. HE SAID IT WAS AMAZING THERE WASN'T A FIRE BECAUSE OF HOW FLAMMABLE IT IS AND HOW HOT THE CONVERTER GETS. IT WAS DOWN 4 QUARTS OF FLUID. HE SPLICED OUT THE WORN LINE AND USED A COUPLER TO FIX IT AND MOVE IT AWAY FROM THE CONVERTER. *TR

THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE NECK AND A BROKEN LEG. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED TWICE PRIOR TO THE CRASH. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT SWERVED TO AVOID AN ANIMAL AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE FRONT AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT A TOW YARD AND WILL BE TOWED TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR INVESTIGATION. THE MANUFACTURER FILED A REPORT AND THE CONTACT IS AWAITING A CALL BACK. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 60,000.

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER STARTED BECOMING VERY INACCURATE AND WOULD NOT PROPERLY SHOW HOW FAST I WAS GOING. IT WOULD EITHER STICK ON A NUMBER OR RANDOMLY MAX OUT AT 120+ MPH, EVEN WHEN JUST PARKED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THE COST TO FIX IS A SHADE UNDER $500. THE PROBLEM IS THE CLUSTER, WHICH IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM APPARENTLY. *TR

I GOT A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN MY 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. I STOPPED AT A GARAGE AND THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THE FUEL LINE WAS EITHER BUSTED OR CORRODED. THEY COULD NOT FIX IT RIGHT AWAY, BUT SAID THEY DIDN'T THINK THE FUEL LINE ON A 2003 VEHICLE SHOULD BE RUSTED. THE GAS WAS POURING OUT UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. I CALLED THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIX IT EITHER, BUT THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD BE RUSTED THROUGH THAT THEY ARE REPLACING A LOT OF THEM AND ALSO BRAKE LINES. I ASK IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ON THE VEHICLE, AND HE SAID NO IT'S JUST THE ICE MELTING MATERIALS THEY USE ON THE ROADS AROUND HERE. THE GAS TANK HAS TO BE REMOVED AND THE LINES NEED REPLACED. THE GARAGE THAT IS DOING THE WORK SAYS THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND FILTER SHOULD BE REPLACED WHILE THE TANK IS DOWN. I DON'T BELIEVE A FOUR YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD HAVE FUEL LINES AND BRAKE LINES RUSTING OUT LIKE THAT. I THINK IT IS AN ENGINEERING MISTAKE ON THE MATERIALS THESE LINES ARE MADE FROM. I AM SURE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SPENT LARGE SUMS OF MONEY TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AND IF MY COMPLAINT CAN GET A RECALL STARTED THAT WOULD BENEFIT ALL TRAILBLAZER OWNERS. *TR

I PURCHASED THE USED 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER MAY 2006. LAST YEAR THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED JUMPING ABOVE MY ACTUAL SPEED. APPROX. 4 DAYS LATER IT RECTIFIED ITSELF. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 - 6 TIMES AND EACH TIME THE SAME THING HAPPENS AND IT TAKES ABOUT 4 DAYS TO FIX ITSELF AGAIN. I HAVEN'T KEPT A LOG BUT IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I'VE READ OTHER OWNERS STATING WHAT THEY HAD DONE. I CANNOT AFFORD $300 - $400 TAKING IT TO A DEALER. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS NEED TO MADE BEFORE A RECALL IT SET IN MOTION FOR CHEVROLET? THANK YOU! *TR

UPON RETURN TO MY CHEVY TRAILBLAZER I FOUND THAT MY TIRE WAS APPROX. A QUARTER FLAT. DROVE TO THEIR INSTALLER TIRE WORKS, WHERE THEY FOUND A 5/8-3/4 INCH HOLE IN THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE. THE INSTALLER SAID HE FOUND A PIECE OF HEAVY GAUGE WIRE ABOUT 6" INSIDE THE TIRE AND STATED "THIS IS WHAT DID IT." TIRES HAD 10133 MILES ON THEM WITH GREAT TREAD WEAR APPARENT WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER 4X4 IN JULY 06 AND HAD TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG MODULE 1 MONTH LATER (54,000MI ON ODOMETER) FOR $350.00. THAT WAS AT HALF PRICE BECAUSE I HAD A 50/50 WARRANTY LUCKILY. NOW LATE IN SEPTEMBER MY FAN IS ON EVERY TIME I START MY ENGINE, HOT OR COLD. LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WITH MY VEHICLE MAKE AND YEAR STATES THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE A JET PLANE AND TURNS OFF A COUPLE OFF MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN EVENTUALLY FAILS LATER. GM NEEDS TO PAY MY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE FOR MY AIRBAG MODULE AND FIX MY FAN CLUTCH ISSUE BEFORE IT FAILS COMPLETELY, LEAVING ME STRANDED SOMEWHERE IN AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT. I ALWAYS KEEP UP TO DATE ON MY VEHICLES TO MAKE SURE I GET THE MOST OUT OF THEM AND DO NOT EXPECT RANDOM PARTS TO FAIL PREMATURELY. I'LL BE ?!@#$% IF I AM GOING TO PAY $600-$1000 TO HAVE THIS FIXED AFTER IT FULLY FAILS TO WORK. *TR

FAILURE OF THROTTLE BODY SENSOR AND IGNITION SWITCH ON 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT. FAILURE LEFT VEHICLE UNABLE TO START AND UNABLE TO SHIFT VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. *TR

2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE SPEEDOMETER HAS GONE WILD. I.E: I AM SITTING STILL AT A RED LIGHT AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS POINTING TO 80 OR 100 OR EVEN WORSE, POINTING STRAIGHT DOWN IN THE SIX O CLOCK POSITION. *TR

2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT ? SMELLED GAS, NO VISUAL SIGN OF LEAKING, SMELL GOT CONTINUOUSLY WORSE AND COULD SMELL IN THE CABIN. THEN YOU COULD SEE GAS DRIPPING FROM THE TANK. HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE GOT HURT. FEEL THIS IS A POOR DESIGN FOR THE VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AROUND 46,000 MILES.*CN
